About This Podcast

Based on nearly 20 years of working together on various projects, we discuss when it makes sense to move fast rather than aim for perfect code, and how to avoid technical debt that can kill your project. We focus on making mindful engineering decisions instead of blindly following rules like “always do X” or “never do Y”. Different situations need different approaches to code quality.
